Writing: Lovecraft & MMGs
Jul. 14th, 2004 06:00 pmAnother Wednesday of writing. I pretty much accomplished my goals, and it was a busy day of writing:
Total count for the day is about 7000 words which is entirely acceptable, and actually a lot of writing.
The goal for next week: complete drafts of the MM article and the LC script, each to be polished the week after. In the meantime I'd love to get a bit of time some evening to work on elves, just so I don't lose momentum on that project while working on these others with tighter deadlines.
- 10 pages of Lovecraft Country comic script. This is the first half of the comic for Lovecraft Country @ Skotos. It's not my favorite creative work, but I think it's coming along OK, and given it's my first truly creative work in a long time, that's a good thing.
- Half of Massively Multiplayer Article. I also wrote half of an article (~4,200 words) about "Telling Stories in Online Games", which is for an upcoming book on Massively Multiplayer Game Design. I finished my introduction and sections on setting and character, then wrote the first half of the section on plot. I thought it came out fairly well, but this is a lot of stuff that I've been pushing around in my head for years, so I know it backward and upside down.
- Elf Book. Had a bit of a discussion with Steve about some issues regarding the elf book for HeroQuest. Got some new notes, and a promise for a counter to my table of contents proposal by the end of the week, but no new prose.
Total count for the day is about 7000 words which is entirely acceptable, and actually a lot of writing.
